Simply turn out the bolt thru the hole in the frame :mrgreen:
Never turn the nut side of this connection, use the bolt side (allen key) and use the small hexagon on the other side only if the nut starts turning (just for holding it).
If you apply torque to the small hexagon it will snap off.

Yamaha R1 RN04
